MANILA - GlobalPort cager Terrence Romeo has finally gone on record to clarify his rumored ties with comedian Vice Ganda, who recently confirmed that he has broken up with his mystery boyfriend.

Romeo has been linked to the "It's Showtime" co-host since his stint in the UAAP as a player for the Far Eastern University Tamaraws, which Vice Ganda has been vocal of supporting as an alumnus of the school.

Vice Ganda first hinted about the end of his relationship last May 9 through a series of posts on Twitter. "It is over," he said in one tweet.

Another tweet read, "i TRied but im TiRed. time To Rest." This had fans of the comedian speculating on the apparent hints in the capitalization of the letters, with a number asking if the initials "TR" pertained to Romeo.

In a live interview on "The Buzz" last May 18, Vice Ganda confirmed that he and his boyfriend, who he has known for five years, have indeed separated. The comedian, however, still did not divulge the identity of his former partner.

In the weeks following Vice Ganda's first tweet about the breakup, a Facebook post from an account named "Terrence Bill Romeo" addressed the issue.
